So if a collector had only one diamond and the diamond was "the Hope diamond", he would not be a collector? I disagree. It depends on the situation which is why a lawyer may come in handy.

And YOU pay the bill for said lawyer.

Not me, LOL. I don't use my DC letter to carry or transport.

Gee Mike , will you come show me your pistol if we shoot it out back ?

Don't take the potential advise of the internet that a DC letter is a magic card. BUT if transporting your collection , or example ever becomes an issue , it might be an extra speaking point for your lawyer. Don't make DC a Plan A , but a weak Plan B is better than no Plan B .

Go for plan B+ DC and C&R

I'm going to wake this thread up for a second. :blah:

I submitted my app ~2 months ago and still haven't heard back. Did anyone have the same issue? I am thinking about just sending in another app via certified mail.

I contacted the person who was supposed to be taking care of it...Heard back that day, and was "Designated" that day also...

Senior Trooper Lauretta Thompson
Maryland State Police
Licensing Division
Firearms Registration Section
Office- 410-653-4507

Thanks for the info 71!

I sent an email this evening, hopefully I get some good news here shortly.

I have had nothing but great professional service from Trooper Thompson

jjsat,

Good to hear! I have had nothing but positive experiences with the licensing division. Well....as positive as it can be.

Probably not helpful but, I got mine just over two years ago, but it was in 30 days IIRC.

Same here. Took about 4 weeks.

That is helpful.

Everyone I have talked to said it should only take 4-6 weeks. Just want to make sure they even got it at this point.

Gave Trooper Thompson a call this morning. Very courteous and helpful!

She pulled mine out of the pile and processed it for me

She was out of the office for a little while.

I did this in September or so. It took about 3 weeks.

Impatiently waiting on this, I sent in the form on Dec 29th. I wish I would have sent via certified mail so that I could verify that they received it. In an effort not to overload MSP, I guess I'll wait a full month before contacting Trooper Thompson.

As I understand it, MSP goes ahead once you have ONE; the denial is when you have none.

Definitely still the case. I just spoke to Trooper Thompson earlier today and was told that. However she did say she'd take care of it once I had purchased at least 1 regulated firearm.

Does this designation have an expiration date? I looked at my letter and could not find any..
